Chapter 2,
"B! Will you please pull over! I have to go the bathroom!!" Juu whined "I'll pull over at a gas station" ChiChi started to laugh "We just pulled over two gas stations before! Why didn't you go there?" "Because, back then, I didn't have to go yet!" ChiChi turned to Bulma "Where are we sleeping tonight? In the van or are we going to a town?" "I think we should sleep in the van since it's already dark, all the shops are closed, we can't get work thus no money" "Oh no!" "What is it Juu?" "Not another night of sleeping in the car!!" "We have no choice, we are broke, we can't pay for a motel. And besides, one of us keeps driving so in the morning we will reach the next village" "Ok but then I want to be the next one to drive because I can't sleep in the front seat" "Ok Juu, we'll switch places as soon as I become tired" Bulma said "Better idea, we'll switch places at the next gas station" "Ok, fine" Right now at this point, it was best to have it Juu's way since she was getting tired of sitting in the van. And you didn't want an angry Juu across you. Just as said, the two girls switched places at the next gas station and Juu went to the bathroom. ChiChi went to the store with the last of their money to get them something to drink and to eat. When everybody was done with what they were doing, they smoked a cigarette and left, on to the next town.
"Is everybody ready?" Juu asked "Yep, let's go!!" Bulma said.
Juu drove for the rest of the night to the next town. Early in the morning when Bulma woke up, they were almost at the next town. "How are you Juu? Are you tired yet?" Bulma asked softly, she didn't wan to wake up ChiChi yet. "No, I'm just fine; we're almost at the next town" "Oh good, I can already smell the money we are going to earn" Bulma said with a smile on her face. "Don't get your hopes up too high B, maybe there is no work" "There has got to be, or else we'll be stuck, we do not have enough gas to make it to the next town" "Let's not think about that shall we" "You are right" "You better wake up ChiChi, we're almost there"
Bulma turned to the back seat where her black haired friend was in a deep sleep. She softly shook ChiChi's shoulder. "Chi, wake up" "Huh? Oh. five more minutes" ChiChi moaned softly "No, we are almost in the next town, you have to wake up" ChiChi sat up straight and looked outside with very sleepy eyes and moaned again. "The sun is not even completely set yet" ChiChi said. "I know" Bulma said
Juu took the exit to a small town; she parked her car at a small parking lot in the beginning of the town. "Let's check out the surroundings" Juu said
They got out of the van and walked into the center. It was still very quiet because it was so early, it was almost seven AM. They looked around and saw that the bakery already had its doors open so they approached the store.
"Good morning" ChiChi said when she poked her head inside A small and fat woman with tiny piggy eyes came from behind the counter to see who it was. ChiChi raised a brow when she saw the woman; she wasn't exactly the prettiest woman ChiChi ever saw. "What do you want?" The woman snapped ChiChi was taken aback a bit by the woman's tone. "Well, excuse me but I was wondering if you need somebody for your bakery, to help you out for a few days" She said sweetly. "Who are you? You are not from here" The woman said, totally ignoring ChiChi's question. "My name is ChiChi and it's right that I'm not from here, we are traveling around and we need money, that's why I wanted to know if you need somebody for a few days" The woman looked at ChiChi with a strange look, like she was from another planet or something. "No, I don't think so, we don't need your kind here" The woman snapped That did it for ChiChi; she was starting to get mad. "What do you mean 'our kind'!?!" ChiChi shouted "Your kind that travels around, stealing everything they come across! Don't think I'm stupid because I'm on to you! If I hire you and I turn my back, the first thing you do is empty my register!!" "HOW DARE YOU!!!! I HAVE NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE STOLEN ANYTHING!! I always worked for my money!!!" ChiChi yelled, she was furious. "That's what they all say" The woman said "Now scram, I have work to do" ChiChi stood there, still in one place, clenching her teeth. She tried to hold herself there but it was no use, ChiChi attacked the fat woman head on. Juu and Bulma immediately flew after ChiChi to stop her but it was too late, the woman was already lying on the floor with ChiChi on top of her, punching her in the face. The two girls pulled ChiChi up and hold her to make sure that she wouldn't attack the woman again. "ChiChi!! Calm down!!" "Let me go!!! Let me at her!! I will kill her!!!" ChiChi went completely crazy "Yeah, that's what we are afraid of" Bulma mumbled Bulma and Juu dragged ChiChi out of the bakery giving the woman behind the counter an evil glare.
Back by the van, they finally let ChiChi go. She calmed down a bit but there was still a fire burning bright in her eyes. Bulma and Juu had never ever seen their friend so furious before. "Chi, are you alright?" Juu asked "What happened? Why did you go crazy like that?" Bulma filled in "I don't know B, that sort of people just make me so mad!! And what do we do now? She wouldn't hire any of us! We are stuck here!!" "ChiChi, there are more shops in this town than just the bakery; we can try others as well, we just have to wait a while because now, they are all closed" Bulma said.
The girls had to wait for two hours before the rest of the stores opened. They tried every single store in the town but nobody would hire them, everywhere they got the same treatment they got in the bakery. ChiChi almost attacked another shopkeeper but luckily this time, Bulma and Juu were able to stop it. Eventually, they gave up, it was no use, everybody thought they were a bunch of thieves. The girls stepped into the van, on to the next town, hoping they would make it since they didn't have that much gas anymore.
About ten kilometers before the next village, they van stopped, they were out of gas. "Oh no!!" ChiChi yelled "We are doomed!!" "No we are not! We'll have to push the van to the side of the road and walk the last bit" Juu said. "Are you crazy? That's ten kilometers you're talking about!!" ChiChi said "We have no choice Chi" Bulma said "You're right"
The girls stepped out, Juu locked the van and they started walking. ChiChi lit her last cigarette. "This is just plain fucking great!! First, we don't get hired, then, we run out of gas and now I don't even have cigarettes anymore!!" "Don't worry ChiChi, everything will work out, I bet the people in the next village are much more friendly then the last one" "If I ever run into that woman from the bakery again, I swear I will eliminate her" ChiChi mumbled
The girls considered this as a lesson, never leave a town with just enough money for gas to make it to the next town, if you can't find work there, you have to walk.
After an hour of walking, a small gas station came in sight, ChiChi's eyes lit up immediately. "May be they got a tow truck!" She said hopeful "I hope so" Bulma said.
They walked onto the terrain, the gas station looked deserted. That immediately crushed ChiChi's hope. "Hello?!" Bulma called "Anybody here?!" She saw something move in the garage that stood next to the gas station. A guy came walking outside, he was not that big, he had black hair, standing up like a flame and as far as Bulma could see, he had black eyes as well. *Wow!* Bulma thought "What do you want?" The guy asked "Uhm, we had car trouble about eight kilometers back and we wondered if you could tow our van this way. We ran out of gas you see" Bulma explained "That's stupid" "Watch it mister! We had bad luck in the previous town and we are ready to kill" Bulma hissed. "Hey Vegeta!! What's going on out there?" Another guy yelled, he also came out of the garage "Shut up Kakarot! That's none of your business!!" Vegeta yelled back But Kakarot didn't listen; he came and stood next to Vegeta to see what the four of them were talking about. He saw Bulma's flaming eyes and chuckled a bit. "Did Vegeta bother you guys, he is very good at that" The tall guy said "Watch it Kakarot, you are asking to be kicked" Vegeta hissed
"My name is Goku, Vegeta is the only one who calls me Kakarot, that's my original name but I don't like it" Goku explained. "Hi, I'm Bulma and these are my two friends, ChiChi and Juuhachigou or just Juu" "How can we help you?" Goku wondered ChiChi explained what happened to their van and Goku immediately offered to help them.
ChiChi also asked Goku if there was work for them, he told them that they could use somebody in the garage, so Bulma offered to do that, she loved mechanics. And in the town two kilometers further was a restaurant that needed people so ChiChi borrowed a car from Goku and went to the town taking Juu with her.
"So" Vegeta said to Bulma "You are going to work here, aren't you?" "That's right, got a problem with it?" "Not yet, just as long you don't get into my way, its fine with me" Vegeta mumbled "You doubt that I can do it, don't you?" Bulma asked with narrowed eyes, ready for the attack. "Is it that obvious?" Vegeta said with a smirk on his face. "Just watch me you dope, I happen to be very good at mechanics" Bulma hissed She crossed her arms and looked the other way, waiting for a reply but it never came, when she turned back around, Vegeta was already working on a car a few meters further. Bulma felt rage building up inside of her; nobody treats Bulma Briefs that way. She stomped his way and stood in front of him with her hands on her hips. Vegeta was lying underneath a car on a board with wheels. (How do you call those things?) Bulma put her foot on the board and pulled it from underneath the car. "Remember what I told you woman? I didn't mind you working here as long as you stay out of my way" "You can't just ignore me like that!!" Bulma shouted "What the fuck are you talking about!?" "You just walked out on me when we were having a conversation!" "You were the one that turned away, not me so get lost! I've got work to do" Vegeta snapped.
"Are you always this friendly to people?" Bulma asked "What's it to you?" "Just answer the fucking question!" "Yes, I'm always this friendly, now are you satisfied?" Vegeta said, he started to get irritated by the blue haired girl in front of him. "Yes. I was just wondering" "Well, you have your answer, now leave me alone. Like I said, I've got work to do" Vegeta rolled himself back into position and went on with his job. "Bastard" Bulma mumbled'
Bulma decided to wait for Goku to get back, at least he was friendly and she needed to know what she could do.
The girls had been staying with Goku and friends for two days now, in those two days, they also met Goku's older brother Radditz and Bulma and ChiChi had the idea that Juu had the hots for him but they wisely kept their mouths closed. The relationship between Bulma and Vegeta didn't improve very much, they were arguing every time their paths crossed. Bulma was wondering how long she could keep up with it.
